In approx 4 months we will be dropping support for Internet Explorer.

About 1.08% of users still use it, but it really is time to let it die.

After well over 20 years of developing web apps and "surviving" the trauma of the browser wars, I can lay the blame for countless wasted hours and frustration solely on Internet Explorer.

Good bye and good riddance!

For the 1%, your options :

Get Edge

Get Firefox

Get Chrome

Get Opera

edit: Opera added

I applaud you for your Patience with the IE. I am using both Edge and Firefox (depending on the machine) here without Problems.

Internet Exploder -- good riddance (not a term of endearment, in this case).

How about "Opera"?
A feasible option?

Opera added now, as it is a Chromium based browser.

I would guess Apple browsers are OK.
For Apple I-pad Safari? Or is there a better app.

This is just for Windows users on legacy browsers.

On an iPad there is no genuine alternative to Safari (other browsers are effectively window dressing on Safari's underlying tech.) So Safari will always be supported on iOS.

Not good advice. Anyone considering using Adblock - please just subscribe to remove ads. Ads help fund this site, and adblocking deprives it of revenue.

A little premature with my previous declaration - but a reminder for the stragglers ( now reduced further already anyway) but everyone please upgrade to current generation browsers if at all possible.

If you already use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge or Opera on any platform and already install latest versions when prompted, you can ignore this.

I think the ad-blocking feature will not find Russ' approval.
